Seminar: 3 Degrees? - Science and Politics as the Climate Crisis Accelerates

Speaker: Ümit Şahin      

Time: 6:00-7:30 pm

Climate change is accelerating. Despite all the measures taken and the ongoing energy transition, the world is warming by 2 degrees Celsius in 20 years and at least 3 degrees Celsius by the end of this century compared to pre-industrial times. This average temperature has not been seen on Earth for 5-10 million years, and it is not clear whether the human species and our civilization can survive in such a hot world. Is it possible to get out of such a crisis through a slow and cautious transformation, as far as we can, without affecting industrial lifestyles and consumption levels, without eliminating inequalities, without continuing to ruthlessly exploit nature? In this seminar we will discuss how we are heading for 3 degrees, the reasons for it, its historical meaning and what inadequate struggle and wrong solutions look like.
